Sweet Charity pimp
Jan. 20th, 2008 11:26 amNo, I'm not writing anything *g*
Sweet Charity is currently raising money for those affected by the WGA strike. Basically you can bid on people (mostly fic, but some vids, graphics, jewelry etc are available) to do something for you. I am a bit apprehensive that this could turn into a popularity contest, but on the other hand, the money is going toward a good cause, I feel. I find the site a bit of a bitch to navigate, but in order to bid you have to log in (I found out that much), and things are sorted alphabetically. It sounds like there are certain fandoms offered, but I'll be damned if I can find that list. From what I can see, there are some SPN writers, and HP writers, Bandom, Stargate (SG-1, and SGA), Firefly and some others. You may have to do some searching, but there are some really awesome writers, that are going pretty cheap (well, right now), so bid now, and bid often!
I should warn you that the bid may not automatically be set to the highest bid, so check where it says "Top bids" and if the automatic bid is set higher than that. If not, you have to put in a higher amount to outbid (I know, I screwed this up at first because I thought it was how much you wanted to raise the current highest bid by). At least, I'm pretty sure that's how it works.
Ok to bid you have to go to teh BuyBuyBuy link thingie - the For Sale one just gives a list of who is participating in that section. You will also have to select which section you want to look in (cloth merchants, fiction, graphics etc), it's not all together. Good luck.
